1st year we went in 2010 I remember sitting up near the Glastobury sign early hours and someone let off one those things - flaming oil was dripping everywhere and then it bashed into the sign, I've never seen so many people sprint over to make sure it didn't set the whole sign alight!! It was a funny and dangerous at the same time, very glad they are banned now tbh

We were quite far back for Stevie Wonder back in 2010 & I remember one getting caught in the big tree & another floating off & landing somewhere to the right of Kidney Mead campsite as the sun went down.

You can’t even inadvertently set fire to a shed full of cattle any more. It’s political correctness gone mad.

Didnt one burn a tree down near the Stone Circle in 2011 or did I dream that?

I think another point was that they had loads of sharp wires in them too that cattle could potential stand on or eat. You can get bio-degradable ones now though. They have them in Bali for ceremonial & religious processions but only along the beaches where they totally burn up.

Graham Coxon was always a favourite guitarist of mine. It just wasn't Blur without him for that (was it) one album. So glad he managed to overcome his alcohol issues. His solo stuff wasn't bad either.

Him and Jonny Greenwood were the pop guitarists of the nineties for me.

(Only a rock star could get away with Greenwoods haircut (aka The Better Phil Oakey Wedge)).

And now I've got that "standing by The Cider Bus on a Sunday night as they close the curtains" feeling.

Agreed. My mate has passed out. Might retire and listen to some comedy while I’m still a bit pissed

I need to go to bed also.

I just spent what seems like the last hour or so typing about how 2009 was so special for me for various reasons. A fucking thesis it was. Poured my heart (relevant) out I did.

Then I clicked the wrong button on my mouse or something and it all just disappeared.

Night night. I've metaphorically got the A303 to deal with tomorrow.

Watched Blur this weekend... watched the Prodigy at the time & absolutely no regrets.

I had a great night.

Blur gig looked good, but the Prodigy was the only full group headliner set we saw. 2 of those who came with us split up as partners between 2009/10 & none have come back to worthy.

Think that’s where my regret stems from.

I know I’m in the minority here, but having seen them a few times, I didn’t rate Prodigy live.

They were OK.

But I much preferred them on record. 

Found Liam and Maxim too “shouty”. By that I mean the hype man style stuff throughout every single song.

Again, I know that’s not a popular view!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
